    The military camp is very large, covering an area of ??more than 400 acres, and is surrounded by two barbed wire fences along a winding ditch.  Watchtowers were built every 100 meters. Perhaps the infantry regiment previously stationed here left in a hurry and did not even have time to dismantle the searchlights on the watchtowers.  In the middle is a large playground, covered with weeds, large enough to accommodate two to three thousand people for training.

    On the left side of the playground are twelve rows of more than 120 brick barracks, lined up along the barbed wire fence along the road.  In front of the barracks next to the large playground, there are still Japanese signs such as squadron headquarters, brigade headquarters, and management department.  The warehouses and arsenals with the words "Strictly No Fireworks" in large plaster letters extending to the inside, a long distance away from the barracks, were surrounded by barbed wire.

    On the right side are stables made of wooden boards and iron sheets, with up to six rows. There are also several brick barracks and small warehouses between each row. There is an open space on the side of the barbed wire fence, which should be used to pile dung and fodder.

    The shooting range is located in the innermost part of the deserted land. It takes more than ten minutes to walk from Dayingmen.  There are more than a dozen raised graves among the millet bushes in the center of the wasteland, and several rotten coffins are exposed from the loose soil, like five-drawer chests.

    When Master Chen, accompanied by the old master, Chang Cai and Shang Wen Shangwu, passed by the grave, he stopped and looked around. He saw that the coffin lid had long been gone, and the yellowed skeleton was sunk in the mud washed by the rain.  Creepy.

    "Young master, if you go further, there will be no way." The old master pointed to the wilderness in front of him and introduced: "This area was originally the sacrificial field for wealthy families. In the early days, there were several households of tenant farmers cultivating here. In August 13th, this area became  The battlefield, so they fled for their lives."

    After walking around in a big circle, his shoes were already soaked with dew, and his stomach was even more empty. Young Master Chen nodded, and while walking back, he pointed at the rows of lonely houses in the northwest corner of the playground, "What are they doing there?"  ? Why did you build a new wall?"

    "That's the ancestral hall. The Japanese are not shy about it. They actually used the ancestral hall as a unit headquarters. Not only did they build a wall, they also built a road directly to the camp gate. By the way, there is a small camp gate on the other side of the woods.  , it is specially used for the entry and exit of the wing officers, and it is very hidden, so it is difficult for ordinary people to notice. "

    Every time he came, he stayed at the brigade headquarters close to the Daying Gate. Considering that there were three Japanese consultants watching there, making it inconvenient to do anything, Master Chen resolutely said: "We are not a corpse collection group, so there is no need to be taboo about those things.  , go back and find a few people to clean up, and use it as the regiment headquarters."

    Of course the old master understood what he meant, but he still shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Actually, the regimental headquarters is the same wherever it is placed. Let's put the sign on the front, and Yamazaki will follow. Rather than violating that taboo, it's better to keep everything as usual."

    Young Master Chen threw the cigarette butt into the distance and said expressionlessly: "Everything has to be adapted. Wherever the regiment leader is, the regiment headquarters is there. What does it have to do with being listed or not? The reason for not letting them come is also very good.  , because there will be female relatives living there, let alone a little reserve captain, even if Harada comes in person, he will have to stay outside. "

    "My young master, do you mean to bring the third wife and the fourth wife here?"

    "Well," Young Master Chen confirmed: "Now is the time to employ people, how can we leave the Master of Heaven and Earth in the mansion to serve them? I made the call yesterday, I think they will be here soon."

    The old master was still hesitant and confirmed again: "Young master, do you really want them to live in the ancestral hall?"

    Young Master Chen smiled slyly and said: "If you don't tell me, if I don't tell them, they won't know! What's more, we don't just let them live there. In addition to me, let the tigress who just came here also move in.  Save her from causing trouble to me again.¡±

    There is no doubt that he refers to Xie Xiulan of the Xie family in Shitang.

    Shangwen, who had been silent all this time, reacted and couldn't help but remind her: "Master, Aunt Xie is not someone to be trifled with. Even though she is just a prostitute, she is very cruel and ruthless! In my opinion, you should stay away from her."

    No matter how powerful you are, you are still not a woman!  Young Master Chen was very unconvinced, "Why are you so cruel?"

    "I don't know what she did. It's all hearsay. But the wanted order clearly states that not only was she involved in more than a dozen murders, but she was even accused of shooting a high-ranking British official."

    No wonder she doesn¡¯t want to go back, feelings are a wanted criminal!

    Young Master Chen was happy and laughed loudly: "It's not like she doesn't understand the rules in the hall. Unless she really doesn't want to live anymore, she will never dare to touch this young master. Besides, I have no enmity against her in the past and now, I  Why stay away from her?"

    Thinking of the nearly 100 fellow Nanyang people who came with him, none of them seemed to be economical. Only then did Shang Wen realize that he had worried too much. He said with embarrassment, "That's what I said. You just have to know what's going on."

    "It doesn't matter whether I know it in my heart or not, what matters is whether you know it in your heart or not!"Young Master Chen turned his head faster than flipping through a book. He pointed at their noses and said sternly, "You two really don't know where Shanghai is and what my situation is now. You jumped into a pit of fire even though you knew it was there. I don't think so.  Reading is in vain. Listen to me, don¡¯t be confused again, pack your bags and leave as soon as possible, and go as far as possible!¡±

    Chen Mingxuan was kind to their family during his lifetime. If it weren't for his generosity, Chen Liang would not have been able to afford for them to study in England. Now that he has returned from his studies, he naturally wants to repay his kindness.

    Just as the old master expected, Shang Wen shook his head and said, "Master, if your situation was not so dangerous, our two brothers would not have come. As for why you said this, you know very well, so please look at me.  For your sake, give us a chance and don¡¯t drive us away again.¡±

    "Yes, I am studying medicine, I can definitely help."

    Their words were sincere and solemn, grateful, moved,

    The gratitude was beyond words, not to mention that it was Chen Liang who asked them to come. Young Master Chen sighed softly and had to nod in agreement: "In this case, you can stay. Shang Wu, wait until Mr. Qian comes back.  You should help him. They are both medical students and have studied abroad. If I remember correctly, Naofumi should have studied economics. Then help your father and take care of the logistics for me.  good."

    "It is said that when fighting a tiger, you are never separated from your brothers, and when you go into battle, you are never separated from your father and son!" Shang Wen snickered proudly: "Master, let's make it this way. You will also give us an official title later."

    It was past eight o'clock when we returned to the team headquarters. The Nanyang boys had breakfast early and started training under the scoldings of Yamazaki and Hasegawa.  A Biao's thirty or so men were busy washing rice and washing vegetables so that they could prepare meals for the people on the training ground and then take trucks to the concession to collect the bodies.  Sakamoto Souchang was still guarding the arsenal as usual, for fear that the thousands of rounds of "heart-breaking" bullets would be stolen.

    Seeing Young Master Chen and his entourage walking towards the cafeteria, Yamazaki quickly dropped the Nanyang disciples who were training and trotted over to stand at attention and salute, "Your Excellency, Captain, Mr. Ishikawa just called and asked you not to go out in the morning. He will wait a moment."  Come, we may have something important to discuss.¡±

    The attitude was more than a hundred times better than before. Young Master Chen was a little surprised, and raised his hand to return the military salute, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yamazaki. There will only be more and more people in the future. I hope Mr. Yamazaki can continue to be generous."  "Teach."

    "This is my mission, there is no need to worry, Commander."

    The Japs are beasts, but they are also human beings. They need to support their families like ordinary people. Young Master Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then changed the topic, "Yamazaki-kun has been working as a consultant for almost two months. He has been busy recruiting some time ago.  I forgot to pay Yamazaki-kun. I went to the team headquarters after lunch and collected my salary for the past two months, so that I wouldn¡¯t have to worry about the crowd. "

    The consultant is approved by the "landing troops", and the salary is the same as the active officer.

    Yamazaki¡¯s captain¡¯s salary is 170 yen per month, but there is no field bonus.  After deducting the monthly public debt and the part sent back to the country, you can still receive more than 120 yuan.  Compared with the four to five hundred yuan salary, subsidies and field bonuses when I was a squadron leader, more than one hundred and twenty yuan is indeed not enough.  But compared to those retired officers who went to Manchuria or returned directly to China, such treatment is already very good.

    Yamazaki couldn¡¯t believe that Young Master Chen was paying me, and couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°Your Excellency, the head of the regiment, do you want to pay me?¡±

    "Yes, it's eight hundred yen per month, which is less. I hope Yamazaki-kun won't take it personally."

    "That's so generous. Your Excellency, Captain, Yamazaki will definitely live up to his expectations and will train them as he trains his own subordinates." After saying that, he immediately bowed ninety degrees. It is true that money can make all the difference.

    "There are also Hasegawa Sochang and Sakamoto Sochang, but not that many. Please explain it to Yamazaki-kun."

    The Japanese army has a clear hierarchy. Non-commissioned officers like Hasegawa and Sakamoto can only receive a few dozen yuan per month in active troops.  Yamazaki was already used to it, so he blurted out without thinking: "For first-class retired sergeants like them, it is already good to find a way to make a living. Don't worry, Commander, they will never dare to have any objections as long as I am here."

    Those veterans who are about to arrive must be exceptional if they can survive the battlefield, but this does not mean that they can fight.  Young Master Chen's money will not be wasted, so he suddenly changed the topic, "Yamazaki-kun, the designation of this headquarters has been determined to be a regiment directly under the Military Commission. In your country, it is His Majesty the Emperor's 'Guards Division'. It can be seen that Mr. Wang and your  How much the National University Headquarters trusts you and me! Because of this, the leader of our regiment believes that it is necessary to add some advisors and form an advisory group, with Yamazaki-kun as the leader, with full authority to guide the training and equipment of our regiment."

    Although Yamazaki is only a retired junior officer, he has a strong influence on Wang Jingwei's formation.?The government is not ignorant.  In fact, the reason why the attitude towards Young Master Chen changed drastically was because the old Japanese Harada considered that Young Master Chen was increasingly trusted by Wang Jingwei, and was afraid that he and Yamazaki would not be able to get along and give up, so he specially called Yamazaki to beat him up.  Fan.

    The regiment directly under the Central Military Commission, Wang Jingwei's "Guards Division", Master Chen's words shocked Yamazaki. He was stunned for a while before he hesitated and asked: "RegimentRegimentYour Excellency, the commander of the regiment, form an advisory group,  "Yesisis that what your Excellency Lieutenant Colonel means?"

    There is no doubt that he doubts whether he can become the leader of this advisory group.  Young Master Chen smiled and said meaningfully: "To be honest, Harada-senpai doesn't know yet. However, I have taken it upon myself to recommend Yamazaki-kun to Mr. Wang and General Kagezu, and have obtained their approval. I think it should be  There won¡¯t be much change.¡±

    "Mei Agency" director Ying Zuozhenzhao agreed, so there shouldn't be any problem. Yamazaki was ecstatic and bowed again at 90 degrees, "Thank you for your consideration, Yamasaki, the captain."

    I definitely didn¡¯t recommend it, but I mentioned it to Ying Zuo on the boat.  In short, for Ying Zuo, who has many things to do, it only matters that the consultant is Japanese, whether he is an active or retired soldier.  More importantly, there are some things that Chen Jizu cannot control.  Instead of waiting for others to send consultants, it is better to recruit some relatively obedient retired Japanese soldiers.

    Young Master Chen was very good at deceiving others. When he saw that Yamazaki showed a grateful expression as expected, he continued: "Considering whether the advisory team is competent or not, it is directly related to the combat effectiveness of this group. I would like to entrust Yamazaki-kun to do so.  To hire ten to fifteen consultants, the required funds will be drawn directly from the regiment headquarters, and the corresponding remuneration will be determined by Yamazaki-kun at his discretion."

    Eating empty pay and drinking the blood of soldiers is not the exclusive patent of the Communist Party. Otherwise, junior officers like them would not have repeatedly resisted former Army Minister Ugaki Seiichi's "exchange of quality for quantity" and "exchange of war horses for tanks".  of disarmament.

    Because tanks are not profitable for them, building tanks is a matter for the factory, ordering tanks is a matter for the staff headquarters, and the fuel for the tanks is also uniformly supplied - there is no trick!  It's different for horses. Feed is a big deal. Where to buy it and how much to buy are very tricky.  So much so that being a tank wing captain, group captain, or squadron leader is considered unlucky, and most junior officers almost stay away from tanks.

    Of course, Yamazaki would not refuse Master Chen's kindness. Without thinking, he vowed: "Your Excellency, Captain, Yamazaki will not let you down. We will start recruiting in the afternoon and strive to complete the mission before all qualified soldiers arrive."  ¡±
